Aaron Rodgers admitted in an interview with The Pat McAfee Show that he did, in fact, visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although that seemed to bring him closer to Mike Tomlinās team, the quarterback made it clear that heās in no rush to make a decision and that, as a result, they can rule him out at any time without regrets.
āThis is my life. My personal life is different now. I have stuff in the inner circle. Iāve been up front with them about that. I said: āListen, if you need to move on, if you need to do something, by all means.ā Nothing but love and respect if thatās the decision that needs to be made. Thereās been no deadline and, yes, Iāve talked to Mike Tomlin many times.ā
Considering this scenario, the cards are on the table. If Tomlin believes Rodgers is the key to competing for the Super Bowl next season, heāll wait for him to sort out his personal matters. If not, heāll probably look for a quarterback in the draft.
Who will be next Steelersā starting quarterback?
Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, or a rookie are the three remaining options to be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. All the high-caliber free agents, like Geno Smith or Sam Darnold, are no longer available.
Whatās become very clear is that Rodgers is in no hurry, so if Pittsburgh truly loves the veteran that much, theyāll have to deal with the pressure from fans and the media while waiting for him.
